An individual has the following genotype Gene loci A and B a
An individual has the following genotype. Gene loci (A) and (B) are 15 cM apart. What are the correct frequencies of some of the gametes that can be made by this individual? Ab = 7.5 percentage; AB = 42.5 percentage ab = 25 percentage; aB = 50 percentage AB = 7.5 percentage; aB = 42.5 percentage aB= 15 percentage; Ab = 70 percentage aB = 70 percentage; Ab = 15 percentage
Solution
Answer: C. AB=7.5%; aB=42.5%
Explanation:
Gene loci (A) and (B) are 15 cM apart means recombination frequency is 15%
Means 15% recombinant progeny, and remaining 85% parental progeny
Ab/aB gametes
Ab=42.5% (half of 85% parentals)
aB= 42.5% (half of 85% parentals)
AB = 7.5% (half of 15% recombinants)
Ab= 7.5% (half of 15% recombinants)
